Aven Fisher

Description

The Aven Fisher is a blue Bird Soldier creature from Magic: The Gathering's Ninth Edition, released in 2005. Carrying the card number 61★, this foil version of the common card is a distinct variant for collectors seeking specific finishes within the set. The card features artwork by Christopher Moeller, capturing the essence of the bird soldier archetype with a mana cost of {3}{U} and a power/toughness of 2/2. Gameplay-wise, Aven Fisher brings flying to the battlefield, allowing it to evade most ground-based blockers. Its most notable feature is its death trigger: when this creature leaves play, you may draw a card. This ability adds strategic depth, turning the card into a resource engine rather than just a combatant. For collectors, the foil treatment enhances its visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any Ninth Edition collection. The card represents a classic era of Magic design, where simple mechanics were executed with elegance. Whether you are completing a set or building a deck around blue flyers, the Aven Fisher foil offers both nostalgic value and functional gameplay. Its status as a common card in one of Magic's most foundational expansions makes it a staple for enthusiasts.
